I was under the impression of the Superfly having permanent doors and the Mamajamba with the option of adding doors for 75$. Please correct me if I am wrong as this will change my prospective completely. Based on my current understanding of the two it is doors vs removable doors. So I guess I should ask, for all that have the Superfly do you wish the doors were removable?

I have the Mamajamba - love it - but!, I wish the doors were attached. I made some Grizz Beaks, but would like a no fuss route of a big tarp with doors. If I had to do it over again (and I will) it would be a Superfly.

I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."

Just did a bunch of research on this myself and going for the Superfly. You're correct...Superfly has permanent doors and the MJ does not but can be added for $75 which brings the total MJ w/doors price to $165 (sale going on right now) compared to the Superfly sale price of $110.

Superfly = 19 oz.
The MJ = 13.5 oz. (a 5.5 oz difference) but jumps to a total of 21.5 oz. with the added doors which puts the MJ w/doors 2.5 oz heavier than the Superfly.

I have them both and like them both. On the SF, I like being able to close things off when windy or rainy (I learned this after using the MJ near a river that had constant wind). It also provides privacy (bigger concern for my wife than me). There is a weight penalty compared to the MJ, but not substantial if you aren't a gram counter.

Superfly

I would definitely go for the Superfly too. I have two tarps (McCat Ultra and a Spinn Mamajamba) both are great tarps, but as I finally learned the hard way, you can't beat having doors when the rain comes,and the winds blows. I spent an uncomfortable night at Raven Cliffs beside the stream a few weeks ago because I had no doors to block the cold damp,air. I'm either going to get the Superfly or have the door mod done by 2QZQ, either way I WILL have doors!
